Weekend Crochet

I hope everyone has had a good weekend? Mine was busy but good and despite the busyness, I did manage to fit in some crochet here and there!

Through the week I started making a wrap which is all done in double crochet so it's really easy to pick up and do a few rows when I have a spare ten minutes. I managed a few rows this morning with my cuppa. I've never made a shawl or a wrap before so we'll see how it turns out!

I finished my blooming flower cushion! I have to say that I absolutely ❤️ it. I'm actually a bit sad that it's finished as I enjoyed working on it so much and loved using all my favourite ice cream colours. The pattern is by Attic24 and the link to her wonderful blog can be found in my sidebar. The yarn is all Stylecraft Special DK which I had in my stash already. This project is fantastic for using up small amounts of yarn. I'm really happy with how this looks on the sofa along with one of my other crocheted cushions. I think the blooming flower cushion would also look great in a solid colour. I'm thinking a soft pink ❤️...

I like having a simple granny blanket on the go and I'm enjoying making this pastel one. Granny blankets are so relaxing to work on aren't they? I love them. In fact I'm going to do some more of it tonight whilst G and I watch some re-runs of Friends. I think that might just be my perfect Sunday evening...

Hi Marianne! It's so nice to see you blogging again. I'm sorry I've missed your recent posts. Your flower cushion is so pretty. I have never tried that pattern but I'd really like to make one sometime. I think it would be really nice for my daughter's room. I love your granny square too, so soft and pretty. I hope you're having a nice weekend!

Hi.LOVE your blog.I am definately going to make one of those cushions.I have seen it on Lucy's blog but can't remember how to do the back and is it easy to get a pad to fit it.I have been laid up with a bad back all weekend so have been trying to do some crochet through the discomfort.I have a Granny blanket on the go like you,LOVE blankets.Also have bobble blanket on the go.The Granny blanket is for a baby so it's in the Stylecraft baby yarn,the bobble one is in the Stylecraft ordinary double knit.Happy Crochet.xx
